“I feel like another shoe is going to drop.”
Fidgets, he fidgets. It's supposed to mean he feels comfortable.
“We’re coming out of the Yule season. Most people are decompressing; are you doing anything to decompress?” Poppy had gotten better at not leading the conversation to just bouncing thoughts out loud.
Harry ran a shaky hand down his face just to bring it to the nape of his neck.
Signature move.
Tugs his hair.
“Didn't get to fly as much with Ginny on bed rest. Auror Corps keeps calling me in but its very last minute chasing tails and what not. I can't do anything with that.” he finally releases a deep sigh “Hermione and I are still having sex, but it is less.”
A shrug.
“Less intimate? Less often?”
“Both.” hands finally in his lap. “It feels like waiting for the clock to run out while taking your N.E.W.T but having half a sheet left. I dont think it’s anxiety because I can still breathe but it does feel odd. Like“ another shrug, “like the other shoe is going to be falling.”
At this pointe Madam Pomfrey is beaming, “Thank you for telling me.”
And to that Harry lets out an easy breath and smirks. Yes he feels comfortable. Safe. And he conveyed that.
“It sounds like you have the physical releases worked out. You can always add more runs. How are you with the magical releases? Are you still using the dummy room at the Ministry? Dueling Lord Longbottom?”
“Nah just dueling with the kiddies here really. Not much magical release in that.” Harry didn't think that keeping a constant *Repellent Charm* going while roaming the castle to ward off students with too forward advances counted. Madam Pomfrey knew about that and knew he pretty much kept them going whenever he was out of the house. Now he was wondering if he put more magic into if he could clear out a room? Or a smaller building? Honestly the more thought he put into it he was sure he could clear all of Hogsmeade Village.
He should mention that to his wife. Whenever he saw her next that was.
“Maybe we should brainstorm that, yeah?”
